As the cost of running a car continues to increase, a well-known motoring personality has taken to TikTok to share an unusual tweak that could help motorists save thousands on their insurance premiums.
Abigayle Andre, better known to fans as She Talks Cars, regularly posts videos to her TikTok page in which she shares advice that can help drivers save money and reacts to the latest automotive developments.
In a recent video, Abigayle talks about a friend who was able to save over £1,000 on his car insurance by listing two additional drivers, noting the first did nothing at all.
She explained: “Car insurance prices have gone up again. You can still save money on your car insurance, which I did today for Jay. His car insurance quote was £2,603.56, I got it to this [£1,527.12]. Here’s how, and I hope it will save you money too.
“Adding one named driver did not save Jay any money. But adding two, Mum and Dad, saved him over £400. It won’t work for everyone but have a go at adding different named drivers.”

A more definite way in which all drivers can save money is by renewing the policy several weeks in advance, with Abigayle recommending motorists pay for the cover 23 days before it is due.
She added: “This is going to save him some serious money, it always does. Buy your car insurance in advance.
“You can see, buying tomorrow would be really pricey. Buying a week in advance will bring it down a bit. Buying 23 days in advance is actually the cheapest.”
Finally, Abigayle urged that everyone who can should pay for their insurance annually in order to get the best price.
She added: “Not everyone is going to be able to do this but, if you can, I’d highly recommend it. Buying annually is going to save you a lot of money.
“If you’re able to, consider buying your insurance on a zero percent credit card because then you can pay it off in one, get the savings and you won’t have any interest too.”
